Manage episode 519214183 series 3416651
The Derbyhaven Residents' Society says it welcomes the findings from the Tynwald Commissioner for Administration regarding the handling of a complaint over the former Castletown Golf Links Hotel.
A report by the ombudsman found that maladministration had occurred when Malew Commissioners was dealing with a request to serve a demolition notice on the building - which the society describes as an 'embarrassing eyesore'.
The document is due to be laid before Tynwald next week, and the group is asking members to consider whether local authorities should have the power to demolish derelict and dilapidated properties.
Shaun Murphy, a member of the resident's society, says the report 'shines a light' on what powers local authorities have and when they should be used 'appropriately'.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
